As usual, Su Jingzhen gathered his spiritual energy and focused it on his eyes. He clearly saw the small characters on the jade piece.
Moreover, the information on this jade piece provided by Shen Yifeng could be obtained through his spiritual sense.
When Su Jingzhe’s spiritual consciousness touched the information.
In his mind, it seemed as if there was a white shadow practicing this set of movements
The shadow took a step forward, leaving a residual image in its original position. It had already moved an extremely far distance.
The white shadow took nine steps, each leaving a residual image. If this were in reality, it would have instantly moved over a hundred meters.
Just seeing the white shadow practice once in his mind, Su Jingzhen’s heart became extremely excited.
It seemed that the nine residual images were already the peak of the “Netherworld Ghost Technique”.
But for Su Jingzhen, this was already enough.
If he could practice the “Netherworld Ghost Technique” to this level, which cultivator of the same realm could still move in front of him?After watching the white shadow practice twice in his mind, Su Jingzhen’s body began to unconsciously practice the movements in the courtyard.
His feet’s Surging Spring acupoints suddenly burst out with a strong surge of blood energy.
Following the information of the “Netherworld Ghost Technique” and the route of blood energy circulation, he took a step forward.
As soon as he took the step, Su Jingzhen immediately turned back to look at his original position.
But there was no residual image at all.
“Master said that if this technique is practiced to the extreme, it would be like a ghost, leaving no shadow when coming or going.
Although it’s not as good as the ‘Python Scales Power’ that Miss Shuang gave me, it’s still much better than most of the cultivation techniques that can be obtained in Linjiang City.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
At this point, he had already reached the fourth layer of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo.
In the Linjiang City region, he was considered a high-level expert.
At least when it came to cultivation techniques and secret arts, he had his own judgment.
Su Jingzhen didn’t think he could master the technique in one go.
However, he had become enthusiastic about the “Netherworld Ghost Technique”.
After learning about Zou Zeyu, Su Jingzhen understood that when their reputation rose, Zou Zeyu would likely take action against them within a year.
He was well aware of the competitive relationships in the cultivation world.
Earlier, in Shen Yifeng’s courtyard, Shen Yifeng had mentioned that improving his alchemy level could also increase his martial arts value.
But Su Jingzhen didn’t take this seriously.
As someone who had lived two lives and struggled in the cultivation world for over two years, he knew the law of the jungle: might makes right.
Having a strong fist was the only hard truth.
If he only had alchemy skills without corresponding martial arts value, he could still make many friends and gain the protection of powerful cultivators.
However, that would mean his life would be in someone else’s hands.
For Su Jingzhen, his fate could only be in his own hands.
So, even if he put aside his alchemy, he wouldn’t give up the opportunity to improve his combat strength.
Su Jingzhen didn’t leave his courtyard.
With a determined spirit, he continued to practice the “Netherworld Ghost Technique” in his small courtyard.
He didn’t aim too high, focusing only on the most basic first step.
According to the technique’s records, he had already opened a new meridian in his legs to channel the blood energy for this step.
As he practiced more, his speed increased.
This step was not just a small step in a literal sense.
With one step, he could cover about three meters.
According to the technique’s records, if he could successfully create a residual image with his step, he would have crossed the threshold.
If he could create three residual images, he would have reached the level of “entering the hall”.
Six residual images would mean he had achieved small success.
Only when he reached nine residual images would he have achieved true mastery.
Within three residual images, it was called “Phantom Step”.
Above three but below six residual images, it was called “Nether Step”.
Only when he reached six or more residual images could he be considered to have achieved the “Ghostly Step”.
The information made Su Jingzhen’s heart even more excited.
He continued to practice non-stop until the sun completely set and the night sky covered the sky.
Although he had already achieved incredible speed with the “Netherworld Ghost Technique”, he still hadn’t managed to create the residual image he had been striving for.
“What the heck, I’ve been practicing so hard and seriously, why is this still not working?
Could it be that the ‘Netherworld Ghost Technique’ also requires a orthodox demonic cultivation method to work?
But the old man didn’t mention that when he gave it to me.”
He had been practicing for over two hours, and he couldn’t help but feel some self-doubt.
He felt that his speed was almost enough, but he was still missing that one crucial spark.
However, if Shen Yifeng were to see his progress, he would likely be shocked.
Su Jingzhen stopped practicing and looked up at the stars that had begun to appear in the sky, lost in thought.
After a moment, he muttered to himself, “Maybe my explosive power isn’t enough yet?”
As he spoke, his body’s blood energy seemed to ignite.
He directly activated the “Bloodthirst” technique.
“Master said that if I use the ‘Netherworld Ghost Technique’ with ‘Bloodthirst’, the effect will be even better.
Let me try it out!”
Su Jingzhen was determined.
He had already practiced to this extent today, and if he couldn’t reach the threshold, he would still feel unsatisfied.
As soon as he activated “Bloodthirst”, he felt his attributes receive a significant boost!
His body’s blood energy also became somewhat violent in that instant.
The next moment, he didn’t hesitate and took a step forward.
He followed the “Netherworld Ghost Technique” and took a step that covered almost five meters.
He instantly reached the wall of his small courtyard.
As soon as he stopped, he turned around to look.
And indeed, he saw a residual image slowly dissipating from the original spot.
He did it!
Su Jingzhen’s heart was incredibly excited.
Taking advantage of the “Bloodthirst” boost, he took two more steps in a row.
Both steps created a residual image.
He directly reached the level of “Phantom Step”!
“With my current speed, I’m probably faster than most Golden Core cultivators.
Even Golden Core cultivators in the later stages might not be able to stop my approach.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his gaze suddenly fixed on a decorative rock formation about four meters in front of him.
The next moment, he directly pulled out his black brick.
The “Phantom Step” was instantly activated.
With a single kick, his body was like a human cannonball, arriving at the foot of the rock formation.
Without hesitation, the black brick was thrown out.
The rock formation instantly shattered into dust.
His future opponents might end up like this rock formation.
“Hahaha… I did it!
From now on, in the Golden Core realm, I’m not invincible, but at least I’ll be a formidable opponent!”
Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with excitement as he muttered to himself.
But just as he was basking in his triumph, a wave of weakness suddenly spread through his body.
Accompanied by this was a severe pain that coursed through his entire body.
The “Bloodthirst” technique might have given him a temporary boost, but the aftereffects would make him suffer!
And after reaching the Flesh Body Golden Embryo stage, using the “Bloodthirst” technique again seemed to amplify the intense pain even more.
He couldn’t withstand it and fell to the ground.
He didn’t care about looking awkward or not, after all, this was his own courtyard, and the maids wouldn’t dare enter without his permission.
As he fell to the ground, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a white-robed figure, walking towards him under the moonlight.
